The Institute Summary Applied Research + Education/Workforce Skills +

Development of Future “Manufacturing Hubs” The Federal investment in the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) serves to create an effective manufacturing research infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems. The NNMI will consist of linked Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation (IMIs) with common goals, but unique concentrations. In an IMI, industry, academia, and government partners leverage existing resources, collaborate, and co-invest to nurture manufacturing innovation and accelerate commercialization. As sustainable manufacturing innovation hubs, IMIs will create, showcase, and deploy new capabilities, new products, and new processes that can impact commercial production. They will build workforce skills at all levels and enhance manufacturing capabilities in companies large and small. Institutes will draw together the best talents and capabilities from all the partners to build the proving grounds where innovations flourish and to help advance American domestic manufacturing.

Federal startup investment: $70M - $120M/institute over 5 years Institute Consortium owners must have minimum 1:1 co-investment

The NNMI Mission “The Network serves the Institutes, the Institutes connect through the Network, and the Program serves the Nation.” Program Mission (Institutes + Network) Advance American domestic manufacturing innovation by creating an effective manufacturing research and development infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems.

Institute Mission Create and strengthen American manufacturing hubs through sustainable industry-led innovation institutes that create, showcase, and deploy new capabilities. Network Mission Maximize the integrated impact of the manufacturing innovation institutes on U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.

“In my State of the Union Address, I asked Congress to build on a successful pilot program and create 15 manufacturing innovation institutes that connect businesses, universities, and federal agencies to turn communities left behind by global competition into global centers of high-tech jobs. “Today, I’m asking Congress to build on the bipartisan support for this idea and triple that number to 45 – creating a network of these hubs and guaranteeing that the next revolution in manufacturing is ‘Made in America.’” - President Barack Obama, July 30, 2013

What It Is – A response to the Advanced

Manufacturing Partnership 2.0 (AMP 2.0) recommendation #2:

• “Create an Advanced Manufacturing Advisory Consortium to provide coordinated private-sector input on national advanced manufacturing technology research and development priorities.”

Why It Matters

Slide 27

– Provides private sector technical input to interagency initiatives and programs

– Build an “advanced manufacturing community” for all stakeholders

– Provides a new conduit for connections and collaboration

• Support and oversight

– NSF Cooperative Agreement, no cost-match required

– NSF and NIST will coordinate oversight, with participation of other interested agencies

– NSF and NIST funds base operations, up to $2 million/year

• Base operations

– Establishment and maintenance of a standing committee that will meet approximately two times per year and whose members can be called upon for advice and to support the recruitment, guidance, and oversight of rapid response studies.

– Operational staff and related expenses for management of logistics, recruitment of experts, and publication of studies.

• Funding period

• Initial funding period will be 3 years, renewable based on progress

• Additional funding

– Partners will be expected to secure incremental funding for individual studies from interested USG agencies, either single or multiple agencies.

• Timing

– Solicitation published – 4/22/15 Proposal due date – 7/20/15

– Proposal review Panel - 8/10-8/11 Award – September, 2015
